This house was PERFECT! We vacationed with five families comfortably and it was an experience to remember. This house's kitchen is one of the best features. It has 2 ovens, 2 dishwashers, a professional stove top, and all the cutlery, plates, and cooking utensils we needed. We saved so much money by taking turns cooking and the families loved experiencing all of the different kinds of foods we made in that kitchen. The three refrigerators made storing all of our ingredients and leftovers really easy.
The proximity to West End Beach is great! We still had to pay each day to get into the beach area (~$4/person) but that is just the policy of the Beach administrators.
Everyone had a bed, and when we had a few extra visitors overnight, they were able to stay in the four pull out sofa beds. It really was a convenience to have all of the extra linens, pillows, and cleaning supplies available to us. We were able to keep the house clean and organized during our stay (and with over 20 people that's pretty hard!)
Coordinating with the Property Manager was so simple and easy. I was able to text and provide feedback about the house during our stay and coordinate for our arrival and departure.
They even did the little things-- like put out a new sponge in the kitchen, make sure all the bathrooms had hand soap and extra toilet paper, and have the washer & dryer available for much needed mid-week washes. The beds and pillows were surprisingly comfortable, no complaints from any one in our group, which is almost a miracle in itself. We kept the windows open at night to stay cool. The only recommendation I would have is to bring a few fans with you, as the weather can get a little warm during midday. There were small fans available in some of the rooms though.
Having visited Lake Tahoe area a lot, one thing that I really appreciated about this location is how close to Interstate 80 it is. I'm used to being down in Kings Beach/Incline Village area, where it takes a long, wind-y road to get back to 80, so it was nice to hop in the car and be in Reno in 40 minutes instead of an hour and a half. We also trekked to Roseville in about an hour 15 minutes and it was really convenient to go to the Costco there.
Such a great experience renting this property-- almost don't want to tell everyone about it because we want it to stay available for us for our next trip :)
